"National Public Radio senior correspondent and FOX News political analyst Juan Williams airs black America’s dirty laundry in his new book, 'Enough: The Phony Leaders, Dead-End Movements, and Culture of Failure That Are Undermining Black America — and What We Can Do About It.' Williams exhorts so-called black leaders to return to the days when leadership had meaning and purpose beyond corporate shakedowns, scandals and outdated rants about the sins of white people."
Williams says: "I think it’s time to say, 'Enough.' That’s enough of the silence. See what the silence has brought us. Kids dropping out of school, babies having babies, so many black and brown faces in jail. I find that there are a couple things going on. Obviously, as we spoke about earlier, there’s kind of an enforced silence in the black community. [I]f you dare to break with us, you’re a heretic, you’re a black conservative, you’re a Republican, you’re a buppy, you’re a bourgeois, whatever. "

Booker T. Washington said:
"There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs -- partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs....There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public."
